DESCRIPTION

Laphroaig Quarter Cask is one of the unique products of the Laphroaig distillery, which is distinguished by the use of smaller oak casks, known as Quarter Casks. These small casks have a larger surface area in contact with the spirit than a regular cask, allowing the interaction between the spirit and the wood to take place more quickly. This gives the whisky a deeper, richer flavour and a more intense flavour in a shorter maturation period.

This version is not only an interesting innovation in the maturation process, but also a way to honor tradition. Quarter Cask recalls the days before small casks were used to transport whisky by horse on the island of Islay. Laphroaig Quarter Cask offers the perfect blend of classic Laphroaig flavours and the freshness of small cask maturation, pleasing both lovers of strong smokiness and those looking for innovation in Islay whisky.

Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: Strong smoky aroma with hints of oak, vanilla and black pepper.
- Taste: Full-bodied with smoke, oak, and sweetness of caramel and honey, with a touch of spice.
- Aftertaste: Long and warm, with a combination of smoke, oak, and sweetness.
